For the time being, my horse needs to wear Equifit SilverSox to cover his heels. They work fine, but you can only wear/wash a sock 3-4 times before it basically falls apart. At $40 a pack, it’s adding up. Has anyone found a cheaper alternative to these socks?
Silver whinnys, though they are more expensive and I have no idea how well they last.
If you are looking for more protection than compression then there’s
Someone shared in some Facebook group I follow (couldn’t tell you which one) they made their own out of regular tube socks. I don’t think they had any substitute for the silver but they said the coverage worked for them.
This type of anecdotal story isn’t particularly helpful, but it’s cheap enough to do it may be worth a try?
